DUMPING CAR.

Application filed October 14, 1921.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that 1 GERHARD IMMAND, residing at Essen, Germany, a citizenof the German Republic, have invented a certain new and usefulimprovement in Dumping Cars, of which the following is a speciication.

This invention relates to dumping cars and has for its object to enablethe car to be loaded and unloaded as a normal nondumping car.

An embodiment of the invention is disclosed by way of example in theaccompanying drawings in which Fig. l illustrates a side view of the carin question, and

Fig. 2 illustrates an end View of the same.

It will be seen that both sides of the car are formed by two iiaps A andB and a double door C the halves of which are vertically journalled onsaid flaps B. rlhe flap A is swingingly mounted at its upper edge touprights D and E by means of bolts Z1 and el whereas the flap B issimilarly mounted by means of bolts f1 and g1 to the uprights F and G.This type of side wall support enables the space above the double door Cto remain free and, as the iaps A B together with the door C hingedthereto, are disposed in front of the uprights D, E, l?, G, it enablesfurther a swinging movement of the entire system comprising the twoilaps A B and the door C, when the car is being tilted for unloading.

As a consequence of the free space ab'ove the door C the car can bereadily loaded or unloaded by means of hand trucks for example throughthe open doors C. Moreover by the same reason it is equally possible toload or unload the car by crane throughout without having to raise theloads above the top edge of the car.

The manner of using the car as -a dumping car needs no furtherexplanation.
